Intergalactic Mind Games Book Report
Very proud of my daughter for putting together an awesome book report at school on Intergalactic Mind Games. Was nice to see her enjoy the book. Great job on the book report Naya!
Excerpt from Intergalactic Mind Games – Chapter 2
Hello everyone! hope you enjoy this excerpt from Chapter 2 of Intergalactic Mind Games:
The soldier exits the lift and pushes the giant doors open, giving
Team Earth-7 their first glimpse of what royal life looks like on Syvopia.
The fifth floor is regal and breathtaking unlike the dingy basement. A
beautiful, thick, luxurious red carpet with gold trim covers the entire floor. Thin stark moulding runs along the wall dividing the top and bottom. The bottom of the wall is walnut brown with triangle-shaped panels protruding from it, and the top half is a solid majestic purple.
Beautiful portraits and paintings cover the walls, and small statues
of people unknown to Team Earth-7 sit on short podiums and line the
middle of the corridor. Radiant mini chandeliers brighten the spacious
corridor as they hang from the fourteen-foot-high ceiling.
Team Earth-7 follows the soldier through tall doors and into an
enormous room that resembles a dining banquet—the great hall of the
palace. There, they see several round copper tables covered with fancy
gold tablecloths scattered throughout the hall. The ceiling is a wonderous fifty-six feet high with symbols, faces, and magnificent designs painted on it. The great hall is the only room in the palace that does not have any other floors above it. The walls are a sandy beige, and the shiny porcelain tile floor is reddish brown in colour.
The room itself is a gigantic one hundred and fifty feet in length and fifty feet wide. There are slender white square pillars every ten feet connected to arches adjacent to the ceiling. The sandy beige arches bridge the pillars from one wall to the opposite wall.
The back of the room is covered by gaudy gold drapes that conceal
a giant triangular-shaped window behind it. Long rectangle tables with
gold doily tablecloths are set up in front of the draped window. On top of those tables sit several chafing dishes containing various types of food. A feast is awaiting Team Earth-7. Unfortunately for them, however, the food is both unfamiliar and unappetizing.
“This is alien food,” Ace says as he picks up a square plate that looks to be made of petrified wood and slops something yellow and chunky onto it. The soldier tells them the food is vegetarian since earthlings cannot digest the meat Syvopians eat and reminds them to eat up, as they will need their strength.
As Team Earth-7 sits down for their meal, another team enters the
great hall.

Excerpt from Intergalactic Mind Games – Chapter 1
Hello everyone! hope you enjoy this excerpt from chapter 1 of Intergalactic Mind Games:
Seven bodies lay on the ground motionless.
The body of a man starts to move.
“Oh, wow, what a headache,” the man mumbles before looking at his surroundings with bewildered ocean blue eyes.
A pungent odour fills the air as the man finds himself surrounded in darkness.
Where am I? he wonders as he uses his hand to comb his long blond hair away from his face. His hair, typically tied up in a ponytail, has unravelled, and he is not sure why or how that happened.
As he slowly gets to his feet, he stumbles and falls against a wall. He shakes his head, trying to regain his composure, and through the darkness, he sees a light switch. The man hits the switch, turning several bright fluorescent lights on, which temporarily blind him. Once his eyes adjust, he looks straight ahead and sees a white wall with five dark grey metal doors.
The man creeps over to the doors and slowly turns the lever to open them one by one. Each door leads to a small white room containing two single beds with white pillows and sheets. A white curtain hangs in front of what looks to be a small storage closet in each room. However, the last door leads to a small white bathroom that contains a white toilet, sink, and stand-up shower with a matching white shower curtain.
Confused by what he sees, the man turns around and realizes there are no windows. He then looks down and sees six bodies lying on the charcoal concrete floor.
He looks forward and sees a stainless-steel triangular door horizontally laced with black bars. Outside the door, the man sees a tall, slim individual standing with their back toward it.
He walks toward the door while looking down at the bodies beneath him.
“Hey, you! Where am I?” the man shouts in a deep voice at the figure standing on the other side.
Turning around, the figure looks at the man. To his disbelief, the figure looks non-human. In fact, it does not have a face at all.
